15th Fab Managers Forum

Driving Forward the Semiconductor Manufacturing Capabilities in Europe, Capitalizing on Strategic Market Developments

Date: 10-11 October
Time: 19:30 - 21:30 / 08:00 - 12:30

Location: Ballroom, Messe Dresden

The 15th European Fab Managers Forum, presented by Semiconductor Equipment and Manufacturers International (SEMI) in co-operation with the European semiconductor manufacturing community, has become a respected meeting venue for FAB managers, executives and industry professionals to meet and discuss topics which are of mutual interest in the essential drive towards "Total Productivity".
Potentials from the extended use of current manufacturing assets must be fully captured, while investing into future technology capabilities to match future product opportunities. In the light of further price down-take in the IC markets, the pressure for continuous productivity improvements is relentless. It is essential that successful device makers as well as their key suppliers share a common understanding of the top challenges and opportunities to cooperate on.
This forum will have sessions of short presentations, closing with the very popular and interactive Fab Managers Executive Panel. To take full advantage of the opportunity to network with other attendees, we will have a reception/dinner on Monday evening.
